All I Want


Drew and CC recommended Kid Wave and their album Wonderlust (out on Heavenly, who don't often get it wrong). Drew and CC didn't get it wrong either- I got the album last week and love it. The group are half Swedish, half English and the album was recorded in Stockport. They've got harmonies and melodies, clanging and jangling guitars, FX pedals and upfront drumming. Mainly, inside the glow of the fuzz, they've got songs. Like shoegaze but more in focus. And I especially love the way singer/writer Lea Emmery sings  'baby I am kicking off now' in this song.
